    Hello everyone I hope all your tanks are doing great!

    I just wanted to post my two new guys.
    I got a Sailfin (Not sure if he is red sea or not?)
    And a Powder brown!

    Hope you enjoy!

    looks nice, but you need to take pics with your camera on 'action' or 'sports' setting, which will shorten the exposure time (less blurred pics).

    How big is your tank, I would think water parameters would be tough to maintain with 2 larger tangs in a tank that was less than 100 gal, not saying it couldnt be done, just think it would take very frequent waterchanges and lots of upkeep.

    Its a 72 i do a water 25g change once a month
    I'm trying to upgrade to a 125g or bigger, I know the fish need or will need way more space.

    very nice additions.

    i don't think it's too much bio-load as long as you have decent filtration. I have 11 fish including a dog face puffer (5") and a striped grouper (4-5"), (which are very messy fish), in my 75. just watch water params (NO3 especially) and if you can keep them reasonable i think you'll be ok.
